Is is too much to ask that Dario “Sergio, no Sario” Saric get a triple double before the season ends? I don’t think so. Remember MCW? Of course you do, he was only ROY of the year a couple seasons ago. He got them all the time, no problem.
Here’s the plan: ask T.J. McConnell to go die, and then let Saric handle the ball 100% of the time he’s on the court. So what if he doesn’t really have the ball skills to be a true PG? That didn’t stop MCW. It can’t hurt to give this a shot, at least. Just for one game. Just one. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. But it will. At least, it will in the sense that Saric would probably rack up the 10 assists that comprise 1/3 of a triple-double.
Besides, they have to get the team used to when Ben Simmons is running the show, and Saric is like Simmons but has the incredible advantage of being available to play RIGHT NOW.
